You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine.

These veins carried my blood, which I scarcely ever saw, I breathed the air of so many places without keeping a sample of any. In the end, everyone is aware of this: nobody keeps any of what he has, and life is only a borrowing of bones. The best thing was learning not to have too much either of sorrow or of joy, to hope for the chance of a last drop, to ask more from honey and from twilight. Perhaps it was my punishment. Perhaps I was condemned to be happy. Let it be known that nobody crossed my path without sharing my being. I plunged up to the neck into adversities that were not mine, into all the sufferings of others. It wasn’t a question of applause or profit. Much less. It was not being able to live or breathe in this shadow, the shadow of others like towers, like bitter trees that bury you, like cobblestones on the knees. Our own wounds heal with weeping, our own wounds heal with singing, but in our own doorway lie bleeding widows, Indians, poor men, fishermen. The miner’s child doesn’t know his father amidst all that suffering. So be it, but my business was the fullness of the spirit: a cry of pleasure choking you, a sigh from an uprooted plant, the sum of all action. It pleased me to grow with the morning, to bathe in the sun, in the great joy of sun, salt, sea-light and wave, and in that unwinding of the foam my heart began to move, growing in that essential spasm, and dying away as it seeped into the sand.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Pablo Neruda" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/pablo-neruda/october-fullness-little-by-little-and-also-in-great-leaps-life/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b35/pablo-neruda-435_business_october-fullness-little-by-little-and-al_3071057.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b35/pablo-neruda-435_business_october-fullness-little-by-little-and-al_3071057.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/b35/pablo-neruda-435_business_october-fullness-little-by-little-and-al_3071057.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“October Fullness” Little by little, and also in great leaps, life happened to me, and how insignificant this…” — Pablo Neruda", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/little-by-little/pablo-neruda/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/little-by-little/pablo-neruda/", "name": "Little by little Quotes by Pablo Neruda", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/little-by-little/pablo-neruda/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d94/pablo-neruda-435_inspirational_i-want-you-to-know-one-thing-you-know-ho_122469.jpg" }, "description": "3 Little by little quotes by Pablo Neruda.
